A gnarled plum branch crosses a blossoming garden

A gnarled plum tree with white blossoms crosses the foreground in a dramatic diagonal, its bark textured in grey. Beyond a low bamboo fence, rows of smaller plum saplings staked upright with poles fill a green garden. The sky shifts from pink near the horizon to mauve-purple above. A red title cartouche and a green cartouche naming Kameido's plum garden sit at the upper right; a red signature cartouche is at the lower left.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was the last great master of the ukiyo-e landscape print. Born into a family of fire wardens in Edo, he turned to printmaking under Utagawa Toyohiro and found his subject in the roads and seasons of Japan — above all in the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–34) and the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58). His snow, rain and evening skies, and his bold near-and-far compositions, were studied closely by Van Gogh, Whistler and Monet. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
